My suggestion would be to use Tab for completion, but only if the user typed a few characters first - if he didn't, use Tab to jump to the next widget. Another possibility would be the End key - I noticed that on Linux, Ctrl+L dialog autocompletes the currently entered text (in Ctrl+L dialog - it doesn't do this on Windows) and that you can already use End to confirm this completion. > I've seen quite a number of people -- Marc, Alastair Robinson, Bill > Kendrick, Jernej Simoncic, Joao S.
